I tried to send the following direct, but it bounced so here's a posting... (This is in response to Tim McBrayer's earlier posting asking about C++ for the TC2000...) To: tmcbraye@hagar.ece.uc.edu (Tim McBrayer) In-Reply-To: tmcbraye@hagar.ece.uc.edu's message of 6 May 91 14:17:50 GMT Subject: C++ for the BBN Butterfly? As I understand it, BBN has a compiler that is derived from the Green Hills C++ compiler for BBN's TC2000 (we are TC2000 customers, by the way). Here's an excerpt from a couple of messages from BBN: >Dave, > >Yes, we are planning to release a C++ product in the near future. The >current plan is to release it in the February-March 1991 time frame. The >expected list price will be $10,000... > >You would be interested to know that you've been using it, indirectly, >for several months now! Our development tool, TotalView, is written in >C++. So it's been shaken down quite a bit and should be pretty solid >when released. ...And... >TC2000 C++ is derived from the Green Hills C++ compiler; it is a full >compiler, not a preprocessor. Parallel programming is done using the >Uniform System library, just as is done under TC2000 C. We have not yet >finalized beta plans for C++, but will keep you informed as to our plans. Also, a guy I know out at Rockwell is trying to port GNU-g++ to the TC2000 although I'm not sure how much success he is having... His last message was this: >Hi Dave, > >How are you doing? I heard that the C++ is out for beta sites. Is Los Alamos >a beta site? We are having troubles porting g++. I can give you contact points at BBN or Rockwell if you're interested.
